Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Some thing " Fred" is one of them .....

Irish passport applications from Britons double since Brexit

DUBLIN, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The number of Irish passport applications by British citizens has almost doubled since June's vote to leave the European Union and the rate of enquiries is continuing to accelerate, Ireland's foreign office said on Wednesday.

Anybody born in the Irish Republic or Northern Ireland, or with an Irish parent or grandparent, is entitled to an Irish passport - a total of about six million British citizens. They are able to hold dual citizenship.

Post offices ran out of passport forms and embassies fielded thousands of calls in the days following the June 23 vote and data on Wednesday showed 21,500 Britons have applied since July compared to just under 11,000 in the same period a year ago.

Applications by Britons trying to hang onto EU citizenship via a passport from their nearest neighbour have increased each month since the vote and rose 120 percent year-on-year in September, the foreign office said.

Registrations for Irish passports in Northern Ireland, whose citizens can hold both an Irish and British passport as the province is part of the United Kingdom, rose by 68 percent over the same three-month period.

GB.

Only to the uninitiated.

granny what Fred's saying is your stupid and he isn't , we all are only Fred knows what's best .

Dumbo,

Just rhetoric to keep the simpletons, party right wing and reactionaries happy.

Let's see what she actually accomplishes over the next 12months and at what cost she does it at.

I wait with bated breath.

Dumbo,

I find your reactionary words very illuminating.

Haha..Yes jimmy b i'l have to learn to read between freds one liners and
see if they make anymore sense.....


NO!

Try this.

Sums it up.

Dumbo ,Dumbo ,Dumbo and posting cartoons again ,have you nothing of interest to say Fred ,your becoming sadder by the day.

I will let the cartoon say it for me.

And I take offence at that cartoon, that poor woman stranded in that barge,
I'm very concerned for the welfare of our older folk, and those plebs that
tethered that weak feeble animal to tow the barge needs flogging, leaving
a vulnerable lady to the elements... OUTRAGEOUS!

You ought to have a word or two with the old labour leaders Fred.

Coos TM is stealing the clothes right off your back.


Corby might be bathing in the warm glow of his nu found supporters, but he has lost the middle ground, and that old chum is the end of the labour party.


(ps, boundary changes wont hurt either)

Granny,

That is one interpretation!

Didn't think you were so sensitive.

Max,

Not my back.

Mind Cruella speech did suggest she is a labour mole in the middle of a party of con artists.

I will watch her progress with interest.

I wonder if she will last 4 years.

But it is your back Fred.

You profess to be a labour supporter, yet stand there lauding what is probably the worst leader of the labour party since Worzel.

At this rate, the labour party is finished, and that's no good imo.

Mind he could help out Theresa on what concessions to beg the EU for.

Told Boris and cronies are polishing their begging bowls.

fred 73676 "Didn't think you were so sensitive." ... Obviously not one to
realize when the pizz is being taken, not uncommon in first generation immigrants.

Why doesn't Fred have his own thread where he can ramble on as much as he wishes without bothering the rest of us? I've said before, he is like a child banging a drum for attention. Ignore him and just maybe he will stop.

Good idea iturama maybe we should start one for him .

The open door pro-eu liberals keep telling us that we need these immigrants
to run the NHS, what they don't tell us is that if there wasn't so many immigrants
coming to this country(along with health tourist) then there wouldn't be a need
for the reliance on so many foreign workers to service the NHS..

Its usually the indigenous population that has to go to the back of the queue.

surely you can't REALLY be that stupid GB - or can you?

of course we need immigrant labour for all sorts of things, but assuredly it needs to be controlled

btw, any idea how long it takes to become a GP, or even a fully qualified nurse?
GP takes 7/10 years though confess i don't know about nurses

properly qualified builders, chippies and electricians also don't just grow on trees, and as it stands, there is a massive shortage in the construction industry
are you therefore proposing to make the situation ever worse by banning such professionals forthwith from coming into the country to work?
